Gunmen have abducted the wife and two daughters of a Kogi-based journalist, Muhammed Bashir, along with eight other members of the same family in Kaduna State.
Bashir’s wife and two daughters had arrived in Kaduna on Thursday for a holiday with her family when they were kidnapped. Bashir, a correspondent with the Nigeria Telegraph, disclosed this to colleagues on Friday in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
“My dear colleagues, please I need your prayers. My two daughters and their mother, including eight others, were kidnapped yesterday by unknown gunmen in Kaduna where they went for a holiday. Pls pray for me,” Bashir wrote in the Kogi Correspondents’ Chapel WhatsApp platform.
He noted that he had contacted the police and the Department of State Services, and had been assured that steps were being taken to rescue the victims and arrest the kidnappers.
